Maintenance
POWER STEERING FLUID
Before adding power steering fluid, thor-
oughly clean the area around the reser-
voir cap to prevent power steering fluid
contamination.
CAUTION
• To avoid damage to the power
steering water pump unit, do not
operate the vehicle for prolonged
periods with a low power steering
fluid level.
If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX
level.
In the event the power steering system
requires frequent addition of fluid, the
vehicle should be inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Never start the engine when the
reservoir tank is empty.
• When adding fluid, be careful that
dirt does not get into the tank.
•
Too little fluid can result in
increased steering effort and/or
noise from the power steering
system.

Checking the power steering fluid
level
•
The use of the non-specified fluid
could reduce the effectiveness of
the power steering system and
cause damage to it.
With the vehicle on level ground, check
the fluid level in the power steering reser-
voir periodically. The fluid should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the
side of the gauge at the normal tempera-
ture.
Use only the specified power steering
fluid. (Refer to "Recommended lubricants
or capacities" in section 8.)
Checking the power steering
hose
Check the connections for oil leaks, dam-
age and twists in the power steering
hose before driving.
